• Attach Velcro (hook-and-loop) tape or double-sided foam tape to the speed controller and the
receiver; install the controller on the RC plate close to the motors, and the receiver in the hull.
• Connect the rudder servo and the speed controller to the receiver, and secure the cables neatly in the
hull using cable ties or Velcro tape.
• Deploy the receiver aerial under the deck support flange inside the hull, and tape it in place securely
(arrows). IMPORTANT: to ensure reliable reception, the aerial wire must be as high as possible
above the waterline, and should run in a broad curve round the hull; the GRP hull only has a very
slight adverse effect on radio reception. If you prefer, you can install a vertical whip aerial made of
thin wire. If you do this, shorten the flexible aerial attached to the receiver by the same length as the
whip, then solder the two together.
